It’s gorgeous here today. Cool, sunny, and fabulous! That’s my excuse for being late with mutterings today. I was out in the park attempting to run. I’m not very good at running, but I do attempt it often. Who knows? Maybe someday I will be the master. For now, I’m happy with the sun, the beautiful weather and attempted running.
What was that you said? Who won last week? Hmmm… I don’t know. Let’s check together…. There were 17 comments last week and Random.org gave the number 8. That means the winner is… Janet from Fond of Snape!
This weeks prize bag includes: a signed copy of the Fey, a signed copy of Denver Cereal or a jar of honey. You get your pick! ?(I’m not sure about the body paint stuff because we’ll see what Janet wants!)
How do you play? You play by leaving your answers to Unconscious Mutterings here. This remains my favorite meme period. I am blessed everytime anyone plays. So Thank you!
